There is a recall with an issue involving the Throttle Body...Ask you dealer about that and have them check the alternator while in the shop....
You can get it started and disconnect the battery. If alternator is good, it should still run. If bad, it will die....My wife has a 2011 Ford Escape XLT and I had to change the battery 2 months ago. Was 1800 miles out of warranty.

I ended up trading the Escape in for a 2014 Mazda CX-9. We needed a bigger car, anyway.

Yes. At least you don't have 2 expensive hobbies. Well, at least I make some money back on that one. Only 100 more gigs to break even.

At least my club travel bag has an alternate use.

I hear you! I have got 4 acoustic, two electric guitars, one lap steel, one acoustic steel guitar and a ukulele. The acoustic steel is actually my very first guitar that was unplayable, so I converted it to a steel.

That's a lot of strings! You in a group? I just got done unloading my SUV from last night's gig. I need a roadie! Any volunteers? @saevel25? @Jeremie Boop?@mcanadiens? Anyone?!!!
